I had a near brush with death yesterday while mowing the grass. As I was doing some trimming I caught a glimpse of a rabid squirrel quickly approaching me from my left side. I dropped my trimmer, and took flight across the side yard to escape this evil nemesis. As I started up the front porch steps and turned to face my tormentor, I saw it was merely an oak leave caught up in a gust of windβ¦.
Good thing for my cat like reflexes, or I might have been in real trouble!?!!
I have faced similar dangers - so glad you escaped safely!
You'd be a great fishing partner for Jimmy Carter ......
